Veggie Wraps with olive tapanade

veggie wraps  These wraps are so good. Really. My kids love them, and you can use just about any vegetable in them…Do make sure to have a mixture,  and you need the zucchini (or you could substitute eggplant).

 For the tappanade

1 can black olives

1/2 c green salad olives

1/4 c onion

3 cloves garlic, peeled.

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tsp italian seasoning

1 tbs olive oil

pulse together in food processor until coarsely pureed. Set aside.

16 flour tortillas, whole wheat homemade is best, but whatever you like.

For filling:

2 zucchini-sliced in 1/8″ thick slices LONGWISE.

1 tbs olive oil

1 tbs italian seasoning

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 c chopped red onion

1/2 c chopped tomato

other vegetables as desired.

1/2 c cheese, such as mozzerella, romano, or feta

  Drizzle slices of zucchini with oil and rub with salt, pepper, and italian seasoning. Heat grill (or broiler) up and grill quickly on each side…just until you have good grill marks and zuccini is tender without being mushy.

  Heat tortillas until they are pliable. Working quickly spread about a tsp of tapanade down one side of the tortilla, top with one slice of zucchini , sprinkle with onions, tomato, and cheese (and anything else you desire.) Roll tightly. This makes 16, or what I consider to be 8 servings.

These would be great for picnics, or even cut in smaller pieces and served as appetizers.
